Answer:

Fracking involves the ______drilling to extract oil and natural gas from the rock. Select one: a. vertical b. lateral c. horizontal

The answer is option C (horizontal)

Explanation:

Fracking commonly known as Hydraulic fracturing is an oil and gas production technique that has enabled the extraction of oil and gas from rock (shale rock).

A fracturing fluid typically water with additives is pumped under high pressure into the drilling pipe to widen fractures in the rock or to create new ones and and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at the surface, deep holes are drilled down into the shale rock. These fractures are held open by an injected proppant, typically sand and release hydrocarbons. Fracking takes about three to five days. Since shale reserves are typically distributed horizontally rather than vertically, horizontal directional drilling method is employed.

Some of the impacts of Fracking on the environment are:

  • It consume large quantities of <em>fresh water</em>
  • The injection of recovered fracking water into underground disposal wells and the high pressure used to extract oil and gas from rock may cause <em>earthquakes</em>.
  • Fracking causes air and water pollution.
  • <em>Deforestation</em> caused by fracking has deep effects on the environment.

__MgCl2 +
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

24.5 g of NaCl

Explanation:

We begin from the balanced reaction:

3MgCl₂ +   2Na₃PO₄  →    6NaCl   +  Mg₃(PO₄)₂

If the sodium phosphate is in excess, then the limting reagent is the magnessium chloride.

We convert mass to moles:

20 g . 1mol / 95.2g = 0.210 moles.

3 moles of MgCl₂ can produce 6 moles of NaCl

0.210 moles of salt, may produce (0.210 . 6) /3 = 0.420 moles

Ratio of reactant is twice the product

We convert the moles to mass:

0.420 mol .  58.45 g/mol = 24.5 g

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.
